A Small Open-Plan Apartment with Midcentury Furniture

This apartment on a quiet one-way street in Södermalm, Stockholm, has a floor plan of only 35 square meters, but it feels far more spacious thanks to the light color scheme and open layout.

Large windows flood the 1930s apartment with natural light, creating wonderful bright interiors that make the small home feel bigger. The apartment has an open-plan living room and kitchen, a tiny bedroom that is just big enough for a double bed, and an open doorway to the spacious hall with storage solutions, which helps to maintain that open feeling.

The home has an L-shaped living space with a dedicated area for the kitchen and a spacious sitting area and dining space. The walls are decorated with art and books, creating a nice personal vibe to the home.

The apartment shows a beautiful blend of vintage and contemporary design. The entire home features a beautiful herringbone parquet floor, and the kitchen is designed in a midcentury style.

The open layout makes the tiny home feel much larger than its actual square meters. The hall has a wide doorway, and the kitchen can be accessed from both the hall and the living room.

The kitchen is designed in a classic midcentury style that suits the apartment’s year of construction. The green cabinets are paired with classic tick locks and simple white backsplash tiles.

Double doors separate the living room from the bedroom.

The bedroom is tiny but just big enough for a double bed. The walls are painted in a calm beige-gray shade, and a tiny nightstand is fitted against the wall. In such a small room, you can also add a deep headboard with a ledge that can serve as a nightstand.

Like many older apartments in Sweden, this home also has a spacious hall that can accommodate built-in wardrobes so the small bedroom or living area doesn’t have to be cluttered up with bulky furniture. It makes this small apartment’s so much more liveable.

The apartment is listed at Fastighetsbyran.
